Buddhists Attack Muslims in Thailand!

Wait. That doesn’t sound right.

But it is! Fed up with the governments inability to control radical Islamists, Buddhist in Thailand’s troubled south have been conducting tit for tat raids on Muslim communities. Unused to violence from Buddhists, the Muslims are concerned to put it mildly:

“Romali Jehheng, a 51-year-old Muslim in Ban Bala, said he had no idea whether vengeful Buddhists shot the three Muslims, but he is “afraid of everybody.” He said he has stopped visiting teashops — popular gathering places that have become terrorist targets.

Army spokesman Akara said 38 Muslim families, fearing revenge by Buddhists following a shooting incident, abandoned their homes in Yala province’s Bannang Sata district in February, and returned only after the authorities remonstrated with their suspicious neighbors.”

Even more surprising is that the Buddhist were seemingly given the go ahead to crack some heads by the Queen herself!

In 2004, revered Queen Sirikit bluntly urged people to defend themselves, and she sponsors arms training programs that cater almost exclusively to Buddhists. After the attack on the van her military aide, Gen. Napon Bunthap, quoted her as saying: “We have to help people there to survive. If they need to be trained, train them. If they need to be armed, arm them.”

No Democrats in Thailand I see. Doctor Bulldog’s got the whole story.

Communist Vietnam Contiunes Attacks on Montagnard People

SOF has a short piece by Kay Reibold of the Montagnard Human Rights Organization in the current issue regarding the plight of the one time American allies at the hands of the vicious Vietnamese communist government which is pursuing a policy of ethnic cleansing against the many indigenous peoples of South East Asia. While the United States looks the other way in an effort to improve trade relations with Hanoi, Montagnards attempting to flee Vietnam are being abused, raped and murdered by government officials.

The United Nations has been complicit in helping hide the magnitude of the atrocities committed against the Montagnards, as can be seen in the whitewashing of the situation on the UNHCR’s website shows. In the meantime, Montagnards that have been able to resettle in the U.S. are in limbo, waiting to hear of the fates of their families and debating what their next move should be.

It has been thirty years since America’s precipitous withdrawal led to the massacres of millions of people. Thirty years and the vengeful communist regime continues a campaign of terror and brutality that the MSM ignores. America has a responsibility to these people, an obligation to protect them and resettle them here if necessary and it is to our shame that we do not.

China Refuses to Let FDA Investigate Their Plants

After murdering hundreds if not thousands of beloved American pets the Chinese are not allowing FDA inspectors to enter their country to ensure that the tragedy won’t happen again. Damn Commies!

Tammy Bruce has the whole story. Be careful what you feed your pets America. They’re counting on you (and they’re so cute!)

Hope for China?

In a surprising, but welcome, move away from Maoism, China is set to restore the right of private property ownership that had been banned since 1949! The New Editor is reporting on what they rightfully declare as great news from China.

Does this mean that there is hope for a free China in the near future with liberty enjoyed by all Chinese citizens? It’s certainly a step in the right direction, but the continued brutal occupation of Tibet, along side a massive military build-up, means that a liberalized economy within the Communist nation may not change the tensions on the world stage. Add to that China’s crack down on religious groups like Christians and the Fulan Gong and the very real possibility that they may trigger World War III through an invasion of Taiwan, and the joy many feel over China’s positive steps will be tempered, to say the least.

But still, this move does give me hope for China. More hope than Gateway Pundit sees for Democrats in this country, that’s for sure.
